H2O Full Throttle - Issue 5

For those who get the mag would welcome any feedback on Issue 5 if you have a minute to spare. Your feedback helps Chris and I finetune the mag.

Regards

Ned

Absolutely superb!

The sequence of that drag boat going over is awasome.

I have a question though. On the next page, it shows a fella being pulled from his seat, a shute fully deployed behind him. Is the shute attached to the driver? I don't quite understand.

Jon,
Parachute jacket by lifeline - deploys a parachute automatically to decelerate you before you hit the water in ultra high speed stuff like dragboats. Sworn by apparently in those sports.

check out http://www.lifelinejackets.com/catal...parachute.html

Somewhere on youtube there is a vid of one been used in anger (cant find it)- on the face of it a crazy idea, but appears to be very effective!

Nice mag as usual, but I don't see that the nine page advertising feature for a hotel was particularly useful or relevant.

What next? Car tests? Favourite recipes? Beauty tips?

JR - Thanks for your opinion.

The reason we have a travel feature in there is boat racers are a nomadic group of people who travel all over the world. We decided to include a travel feature in each issue for readers to get some ideas on where to go and stay on their travels.

If Beauty Tips is something you are into then maybe best you buy Vogue

Ned, he's more of a Gay-News reader than Vogue.

I'm into boats. That's why I subscribed to your magazine. You asked for feedback!
